Principles of English Law of Contract and Agency
“Principles of the English Law of Contract and of Agency in Its Relation to Contract.” By Sir William R. Anson, D.C.L., of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law, Warden of All Souls College, Oxford. Bound in strong cloth, 464 pages. Oxford University Press, London and New York, 91 to 93 Fifth Avenue. This book is the eleventh English edition, and the second American copyright edition, edited with American notes by Ernest W. Huffcut, Dean of the Cornell University College of Law. It is, therefore, a work of authority, and with its frequent, careful revision is thereby up to date, and a standard text-book on Law of Contract of both English and American law, showing both parallels and differences. The object of the book is to show how a contract is made, what is needed to make it binding, whom it may affect, how it is interpreted, and how it may be discharged. The language is not involved, the instruction clear and simple. It is an invaluable text-book to the law student, it is a valuable book also for the business man.
